Based in Bass Hit Studios in New York, Dave has worked on hit songs and albums in multiple genres, winning Grammy Awards along the way.

Topics covered include:

How to create a sonic vision for your song, no matter the genre

How to make the most important decisions when mixing a pop, hip hop or rock track

How different mixing choices can impact the song’s overall feel

How to give lead and backing vocals the power and polish they deserve

How to rethink the way you use harmonic instruments - synths, guitars, etc. - in your mix

How to put the finishing touches that can make or break a song

You can find out more and sign up on the Waves website. The first of the eight sessions will be available from 28 November, with a live Q&A session wrapping thing up on 20 December.
